Our Score: 96/100
Introduction:
I had the privilege of tasting from TRVE Brewing Co’s exquisite range, and I must say, the Halfway There truly knocks it out of the park. This mixed-culture blend, brewed in collaboration with Threes Brewing in Brooklyn, New York, scores an impressive 96 out of 100. It’s impressive – high in aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel, with a touch of dry-hopping from Mandarina Bavaria. But let’s dive deep into what makes this brew truly stand out.
Aroma:
Heading up the sensory experience with an 11 score, the Halfway There first introduces itself with an array of complex fruit esters. The primary aromas of peach and tangerine immediately overwhelm your senses in the best way possible. Following this, your nose will start picking up hints of light citrus, wet hay, and orange rinds, reminiscent of Grandma’s clean, but delightfully musty cellar. The olfactory experience this blend provides is a sensory voyage like no other.
Appearance:
Nestling into a snug score of 3, the Halfway There doesn’t discriminate when it comes to appearance. This isn’t a beer designed to rely on visual flair, its magic unveils through the senses of taste and smell. Nevertheless, its humble presentation should by no means be mistaken for modesty – this brew definitely packs a punch!
Flavor:
Pulling no punches on the flavor front, this tantalizing brew scores a remarkable 19. The palate will be taken on a taste adventure, starting with a spritzy mouthfeel that complements the lemony acidity perfectly. Notes of lime, black pepper, and a light touch of Brett funk will follow, creating an intriguing and exciting blend of flavors. The finish is crisp and satisfying, leaving you chasing that next sip.
Mouthfeel:
With a mouthfeel score of 5, the Halfway There is certainly crafted to delight. Soft, woody Brett notes back up a strong floral and white-peach burst. The tartness is mild, allowing the floral hops notes to push forward, with just a hint of bright acidity creating a balanced and enjoyable taste sensation in your mouth.
Conclusion:
My verdict? This is a brew that, far from being simply halfway there, truly arrives and makes its presence known. TRVE Brewing Co.’s creation offers a symphony of complex aroma, flavors, and mouthfeel, nicely tied together by a pleasing acidity for balance. Try it and you’ll find yourself entranced by its sprightly and crisp character. This Brewery has certainly captured my attention, and I have no doubt they’ll capture yours too.

Poses the atmosphere. It indeed approaches life without color. However, my eyes immediately fixated on the lovely round bubbles swimming around the outside & bottom of the glass. When held up to the light, other shades of milky yellows start to appear to tell the story of the wheat within. Not the brew for aesthetes, but an eye-catcher for the intrigued.
